Today I tried to update the firmware on my AC68U to 386.5 and when it finished it told me to finish by manually rebooting my router. This was strange, as I don't think I've ever seen that before when upgrading firmware. I turned it off/on, and now it seems to be bricked. I've tried a factory reset (reset button), a hard factory reset (WPS with power button), and tried restoring the firmware by putting it in recovery mode, and using Asus's firmware recovery tool. The firmware recovery tool looked promising, as it found the device, and starts to upload, but it gets to 40%, and goes back to 0%, goes up to 40% again, back to 0, and then finally fails. I called Asus, and they had me do a factory reset, and then told me since my device is out of warranty I need to just buy a new router. Is there anything else I can try to fix it?
Thanks,
Mark
